Insufficient authorization to see files in shared folder
I have two computers, a desktop running Windows 7 Professional and a netbook running Windows 7 starter edition. I have shared some folders on the netbook and can access them from the desktop computer. However, I am unable to share folders on the desktop. From the netbook, I can see the desktop on my network and also the shared folders, but when I try to open them I am told I have insufficient authorization to so so. I have checked the authorizations on the desktop side and can see that "Everyone" has permission to open these folders for reading, and that the authorization extends also to subfolders and files.
I've been trying all day to resolve this problem and would appreciate any help.
When I set up these permissions, why doesn't Windows warn me that there's something else that will impede what I'm trying to do?
